Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch
Each of the trunks shown in Figure
Figure 1-32 shows a typical switch-to-server trunk configuration. In this example, file server FS1 utilizes dual MAC addresses, using one MAC address for each Network interface controller (NIC). For this reason, FS1 does not require a trunk assignment. FS2 is a single MAC server (with a four-port NIC) and is set up as trunk configuration T1.

Figure 1-32. Switch-to-Server Trunk Configuration Example
Client/Server Configuration Utilizing MultiLink Trunks
Figure 1-33 shows an example of how MultiLink trunking can be used in a client/server configuration. In this example, both servers are connected directly to switch S1. FS2 is connected through a trunk configuration (T1). The switch-to-switch connections are through trunks (T2, T3, T4, and T5).
